The vintage travel poster created by Sabena Belgian World Airlines to promote travel to Mexico is a striking example of mid-20th-century aviation advertising. This poster, with its vivid imagery and strong cultural references, was designed to attract European travelers to the vibrant and exotic destination of Mexico.
